this and that
Mar. 17th, 2011 10:48 amSo last night's outing was a big fat pile of fail. I showed up 10 minutes early, and stood in the theater lobby for 1/2 an hour. Spent the next 2 hours fretting about what had happened to my friend. Finally just left and ran my errands to Walmart. Dealt with mom and pukey toddler in the Walmart bathroom, which, well, nothing make me feel like heaving like listening to someone else making retching noises. Fled there as soon as possible.
Came home, continued fretting, and then got a little pissed when friend texted me to say she was inside the theater the whole time. Jesus. Pop your head out of the screening room and LOOK in the lobby when I don't show up wouldja????? Somehow this will end up being MY fault for not just coming in. But I never ever thought she would just go in when I got there WAY before we said we'd meet.
Anyway... blah blah blah. Friend and I are having lunch tomorrow, so we'll sort it all out then. Now just annoyed, and also annoyed I can't just let it go, but it continues to annoy me. LOL HAMSTER WHEEL OF ANNOYANCE.
On the plus side, although slightly terrifying to shy ones like me ...
Mass email went out to the workplace last week seeing if there was any interest in starting back up some meet over lunchtime and share our crafty projects get togethers. I sat on the email for a day, and then decided to listen to my "be braver" resolution and emailed back my interest.
Email round two involved a doodle poll to decide a day and time of the month to meet.
So now, we have our first lunch on the first Monday of the first full week of the month (god, we LOVE those "full week" designations around here). Now I just have to dig up a few things, battle the art vs. craft debate in my head, and get brave enough to actually show up and meet actual people at my workplace who do crafty things. It's good, yeah? :)
April 4th will be here before I know it I suspect. And April 5th I'm on a bus to DC with the retirees. (and my parents) to check out the tidal basin and various war memorials. And have dinner at a Cracker Barrel in Maryland. (Which, loving 1776 I can only hear in my head as Mary-Land rather than Marilynd.)
Happy green beer day. Please don't drink any. Have a green pancake instead. Or join me in a green milkshake as I break in the new grindy smoothie maker dealio I bought during my flying Wal-mart run last night. Healthy drinks start NEXT week!
eta: my weird life ... thanks to a local trial involving people by the name of Boob and Butts ... my twitter feed now includes this hashtag: #boobtrial. oh la!
